I had incision pain for 2 weeks . A heating pad definitely helped and just resting. Dont over do it. I went to a christmas party a little over a week post op because I was feeling great, I definitely paid for it that night at the hotel, my back killed me and incision was hurting. I say incision because the only one that gave me issues was the spot my stomach was removed. Just rest when you can and even light stretching helped the tightness feeling, no jane fonda work out though lol! Good luck

When you get excited to use your Amazon gift card on "poopouri" so you dont cause an emergency evacuation when you poop at work!

It is the gas that is making you want to burp. Give it some time and walk as much as you can and try gas x strips. Popsicles have been a life saver for dry mouth and nausea. When i first had surgery a month ago I could only eat half of a popsicle for a few days, now it's at the top of my grocery list lol..good luck

You go to the store and shop like you can eat. Then throw half your groceries away a week later.

Wow ????. What is the point of surgery if you are already drinking alcohol and eating things you really shouldnt. Hopefully you dont get a leak or get sick

When I first had surgery I drank Fiji Water, it was just too dense. A lot of people have issues with Water at first for some reason. I suggest trying different liquids, Proteins, and food items post op. Dont stock up on anything because your taste buds will most likely change. Mio drops for water help break up density too.

I laid in pre op for 8 hrs because there were two emergency surgeries my surgeon had to handle so I finally went into the OR at 8 pm, was out of surgery by 10 pm, got my room and had to pee so instead of the commode i wanted to walk to the bathroom, pain or not. I walked the halls the next day, determined to get out of the hospital. I was discharged the day after surgery at 1 pm. The following few days I had horrible gas pains and incision pain but it was tolerable. I was able to go to my work christmas party 8 days after surgery, I was feeling great. Over the past few weeks I have had a lot of nausea and Constipation but i take meds for both. Overall , its just taking it day by day and learning to get fluids in and some food. At first Water felt like a brick but I changed to smart Water and it was a lot easier to drink. A few of my friends had 0 nausea so they are lucky. Good luck to you

You can try smart Water, when I first had surgery I was drinking Fiji Water but it was too dense. Smart water seems to go down smooth with no stomach upset

My 600 lb life is a great motivator and reminder why I got sleeved, even though I was not even close to being that size. Sometimes I want to throat punch the whiney patients though LOL
